No issue, Rafat Sahab. Through Shri Asokan, you have already shared a lot of very good music and I thank you both for your generosity from the bottom of my heart. Only, Ye Dil Mange More!

Mera bhi dil mange more!!

Ustad Vilayat Khan was more than a musician, musicians entertain us, Masters educate us!

RAFAT SAID Dear Rafat Sahib, how funny it is that you wrote about this because that is exactly what I was thinking of, when I saw Mr. Asokan's description of the recording, that it must have been rather difficult in a house concert to conceal the fact that the recital was being recorded. And of course, even a lay listener like me is also aware of how averse VK was to being recorded. Of course, it was his discretion as an artiste and one had to respect that but I very much regret that this might be the reason why so many fewer of his concert recordings are available (as compared to, say, Nikhil Banerjee) and of course, even fewer publicly shared. Once again, thanks very much to your generous sharing of these and Mr. Asokan's efforts in bringing them to us. Those of us who are not "insiders" in the highly hierarchical North Indian Classical Music circle in the subcontinent would have had no chance to get to listen to these.

Indeed, Rafat sahib is very generous, and I thank him very much. You too deserve a part, though -- since you put in the "time" and "effort" to categorize, upload and label.

Rajiv Chakravarti thanks
